SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CodeXen's multi-mode system enables teams to tailor the development workflow to current needs, reducing context switching and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode diversity: provides dev, quick, review, refactor, debug, and test modes to cover end-to-end delivery and rapid iterations.
  • Structured workflows: orchestrates planning, coding, and auditing steps aligned to the selected mode.
  • Use Case: a feature team prototyping a new API can begin in quick mode for fast iteration and then switch to dev mode for full validation and audits.

Quick Start

Start in dev mode by describing your feature and its quality gates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch between fast prototyping and rigorous code review workflows?

You can switch between fast prototyping and rigorous code review by using operational modes like quick mode for rapid iteration and review mode for structured audits. Mode-switching controls allow you to transition workflows as project needs evolve.

What is the best way to structure planning, coding, and auditing steps for feature development?

The best way to structure planning, coding, and auditing is to use a coordinated development workflow like dev mode. It integrates these three steps end-to-end, ensuring full validation and quality audits are applied to your feature delivery.

Can I use different development modes for production tasks and rapid iterations?

Yes, you can use different development modes for production tasks and rapid iterations. The system provides six operational modes—dev, quick, review, refactor, debug, and test—to coordinate workflows tailored to both fast iteration and rigorous production requirements.

How do I start a new feature in dev mode with validation and quality gates?

To start a new feature in dev mode, describe your feature and its quality gates to initialize the workflow. Dev mode then orchestrates the integrated planning, coding, and auditing steps required for full validation.

When should I use quick mode instead of dev mode for API prototyping?

You should use quick mode instead of dev mode when you need fast iteration for API prototyping without immediate full validation. Once the prototype stabilizes, you can switch to dev mode to apply rigorous audits and complete production tasks.

Does the workflow system support dedicated modes for refactoring and debugging?

Yes, the workflow system supports dedicated modes for refactoring and debugging. Refactor mode and debug mode are specifically included to coordinate targeted workflows with integrated planning, coding, and auditing steps for resolving issues and improving code.
